Sports park volunteers honored

EPHRAIM — Those who helped build the sports park in Ephraim in 1995 were honored Wednesday, Oct. 7, with a plaque that will be placed in the lobby of the city building. The sports park was a joint venture between Ephraim City and Snow College.

“Ephraim City wishes to express our appreciation to … individuals and organizations for extra hours and hard work in making the sports complex a reality,” the plaque reads.

Those honored include inmates at the Central Utah Correctional Facility; Don Erickson, retired Snow College new construction supervisor; Bart Nelson, former city councilman; Gerald Day, former Snow College president; the late Kevin Cox, owner of Cox Rocks; Mike Duncan, Snow College Grounds Supervisor; and volunteers of community organizations.

Volunteer labor by members of the community, Snow College sports teams and other groups of Snow College students laid sod and helped with other tasks, said Bob Oliver, present Snow College new construction supervisor.
